¡Oiga, que tal!
Time is flying, wow. A lot of stuff is changing in the
mission right now, it's pretty exciting. We had our last interviews with
President White this week. It was really good! Sister White is a quilter and so
we all signed a square of fabric and she's going to make a huge quilt out of
it! They have officially moved out of the mission home and sent most of their
stuff back to Utah.
We spent a lot of time this week making a video. My
companion, Elder Ward, has been working on this new spreadsheet thing for the
mission and we are finally ready to release it to the mission. My job was to
make a video describing how to use it so all of the District Leaders would know
what to do. I had to dig up some of my editing skills from high school haha. It
was pretty fun but it took a long time. The Tech Elders in the past here have
made a video series called "Tech Time" so this was kinda a
continuation of that series. There is usually some element of the video that is
funny, (just so people don't hate us for making boring tutorial videos). I'll
send a link to the last few minutes of the video. It's a spoof of the church
video "Treasure in Heaven" about John Tanner. (Its on
ChurchofJesusChrist.org if you haven't seen it.)
We named the system LUKIS which stands for Live Update Key
Indicator System. Hopefully it helps the mission be a little more efficient
when it comes to reporting numbers each day.
As for regular missionary stuff....We had a hard time
contacting our On Date since he got a job as like an assistant DJ or something.
We thought his baptism might have to be pushed back but we called and talked to
him for like an hour and right now it's looking like he will get baptized this
Friday!! We super excited, hopefully everything works out. If it's not this
Friday it will be soon, though so I'm not worried.
We had a few awesome lessons with the people we are
teaching. One family came to church too! They cancelled on us in the morning
but they ended up coming anyway. Olga is the mom and she has a really good
friend in the ward and afterwards she texted us and basically said, "push
her into the font, she is ready." We had a super awesome Lesson with them
and they definitely felt the spirit.
There is a part member family that we are starting to work
with and they are super excited to learn. The one member in the family wants to
re learn why she joined the church. She has some issued with substance abuse
and so she pretty much forgot her whole experience of taking with the
missionaries. She remembers doing baptisms in the temple though so that is
cool.
Well that's probably it for this week! It's been crazy to
hear about some of the people that graduated this year and already have their
mission calls! Suerte to all of them!
Los amo!
